SCHOOL BOARD MEETING ' POSTPONED Owing to the Easter Holiday, the _ School Board meeting will not be held until Tuesday, April 14th. MR. J. G. HARRIS On Monday last, word was received *' from Toronto, of the death of Mr. J. . G. Harris, son of the late Rev. John Harris. Mr. Harris has been ill for gome time with an affection of the heart. Toward the end of last week he developed pleurisy, which proved fatal owing to the weakened condition of his constitution. On Sunday last his grandson, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harris, was christened from the baptismal font which had been presented to the United Church by the children of the late Rev. John Harris and Mrs. Har- ris. It was a source of regret to Mr. Harris that he was unable to attend the ceremony. In spite of his illness, death was unexpected, and came as a great shock to his relatives here in Port Perry. The funeral service was conducted at the family residence in Toronto. Burial took place at Pine Grove Cemetery, Prince Albert. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved family.

"A Busy Week Seldom have we seen 'such, a con- gestion of entertainments as there have been this week. The Johnston Magicians. This group of clever entertainers have the people of the town guessing. Their performances have been well attended and proved most interesting. Your Eyes "once gone, can never be replaced. Eyesight is the most precious of our senses.

LUKE & SON, Optometrists 163-167 Yonge St., Toronto (Up-stairs, opposite Simpson's) Theirs is the job--where "the quick- ness of the hand deceives the eye." Eggs, rabbits, endless colored silk, pigeons, ducks, guinea pigs, etc., came from nowhere and disappeared into the same place. Locked boxes, hand- cuffs, ropes and any other tie-up made no permanent prisoners of the man who defied you to tie him up so that he could not get away. That spooky handkerchief danced and bowed to the will of the performer. Some day we shall have to find out how all this magic is done. In the meantime we can go on talking about the matter for many moons to come. Mr. Bert Johnston had a bouquet for the boys. He said that they behaved splendidly. "Jimmy" Frise While the big show was going on in the town hall, a different entertain- ment was given under the auspices of the Young People's Society in the basement of St. John's Presbyterian Church, where "Jimmy" Frise and his friend Mr. Sparrow, entertained a crowded house with pictures. Mr. Sparrow showed some films of Japan, and a marveleous picture of the sal- mon industry in all its stages. Both these films were exceptionally good. Of course the centre of attraction was "Jimmy" Frise, of Birdseye Centre fame. His rapid sketches were fine illustrations of the value and expressiveness of lines. The most uninteresting wiggling line can be transformed by this clever artist into a laugh provoking picture with a few deft strokes. Port Perry people are proud of "Jimmy" Frise, and appreciate this visit as a real act of courtesy.

Morrison "Cedar Lodge" PRINCE ALBERT april 9 FOR ATTENTION OF PARENTS Whitby, March 24th, 1931 Mrs. Jackson, Chairman, Board of Education, Port Perry. Dear Mrs. Jackson: I have just completed my visits to your school and I find that all rooms are comparatively crowded. It has been the custom, in past years, to ad- mit a class of beginners at Easter time and I presume that many people will be expecting to start their small children at that time this year. How- ever, in view of the crowded condition of the school I really think that no children should be admitted until September. If there were room in Miss Walker's room for these begin- ners, no objection could be made, but there is not room. You can quite understand how a new class entering in the middle of the term will disorganize the whole school and for that reason many schools in ie and villages have e di ti put a Your Board should, I think, notice in the local paper; stating that for this year at least, no be ers will be admitted at Easter.

PYATT 'Truck Delivery Phones: Office 94, Residence 238 Official Warning To Truck Drivers and Owners Loads Must be Reduced During March and April Important clauses in-Ontario Highway Traffic Act are designed to protect roads, both paved and unpaved, during the early Spring. Because of moisture that lurks in road foundations, excessive weights and speeds do extensive damage to road surfaces at this time. ] WHAT THE LAW SAYS The Highway Traffic Act declares that during March and April, on roads outside cities and towns: ! Solid tired trucks and trailers shall be limited to half a load; Pneumatic tired trucks .and trailers, with a carrying capacity: exceeding three tons, shall be limited to half a load; Horse drawn veglpicles with a carrying capacity exceeding one ton, shall be limited to half a load. Speed limits all the year round are: 15 miles an hour for solid tired vehicles, and 20 smiles an hour for pneumatic tired vehicles of more than 6 tons gross. During the Spring months drivers must be particularly careful not to exceed these speeds. THE LAW PROVIDES PENALTIES The penalty for overloading during March and April is a fine, imprisonnient, or both, Licenses may also be suspended. Highway traffic officials have been directed to be especially vigilant in appre- hending all who disobey. The Department of Highways desires to impress upon truck and team owners and drivers the provisions of the law. It seeks their co-operation in seeing that the law is obeyed in all circumstances. Ontario's investment in good roads, now amounting to many millions of dollars, must be protected. Ontario Department of Highways THE HON. GEORGE S. HENRY, Minister.
